The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works approved Jeff Prieto as general counsel for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Jennifer Sass as a member of the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB), setting the stage for a vote by the full Senate.
The two were approved, over Republican opposition, alongside two other nominees to the CSB, an independent federal agency: Stephen Owens and Sylvia Johnson.
